Can you tell me about your time at Loughborough, highlights and lowlights...
Loughborough’s been good to me. I’ve enjoyed the season a lot. Its been a mixed bag really. Highlight would be scoring an absolute cracker at half time at Loftus Road. If you don’t believe me, ask Windy. Definitely going all the way to Cardiff and getting beaten in the first round BUSA knockouts for the 2nds wasn’t a proud moment, but hey, these things happen.
Can
you shed any light on your footy career outside of Loughborough?
Not much. Its, coming up to the summer so I’m looking at the pro beach football circuit. Only problem would be the pebbles. But I got African feet so I reckon I could handle it.
What is the highest achievement in your career so far?
U13 Managers Player of the year for my Sunday league team, TNT Dynamos. Brought tear to my pre-adolescent eyes.
And which is your most memorable game for Loughborough?
My first game for the 1st team. I came on at 1-0 down against Manchester Met ( I think it was) at home with 8mins to go. To make a long story short, we scored 3 goals in 5 mins, woke the crowd up with some entertaining Joga Bonito style football and progressed to the next round. The defining factor…. well I’ll let you be the judge.
Who is your best friend in LSAFC (not including Nick Drew)?
Lawrence. He copes with my ‘big time’ demands and ignores them.
Have you any funny tales that you can tell us?
Easter Hols we had to do some extra training for the final. During the one drill, Pies wasn’t best pleased with our performance. He had a bit of a rant and his chewing gum flew out onto the rubber crumb. Anyway, he carried on without flinching in true textbook coaching manner, sent us off to correct our mistakes, then picked it up. BUT, he waited for us to do the drill again and gave it a quick blow and popped it back in hoping no 1 saw. I guess that’s allowed when you take into account the universally known 2minute ‘’food on the floor’’ rule.
Which team do you support?
I’m impartial. Football’s the winner.
Who is your childhood hero and why?
The old man. Just because he helps me so much, and he was the only adult I could regularly nutmeg at 6 year old.
What three items would you take to a desert island and why?
A volleyball (it worked for Tom Hanks), a George Forman grill, and a universal adapter. You just never know what type the plug socket is going to be. Better safe than sorry.
Are there any youngsters we should look out for coming through the ranks?
Scotty in the 5th team I think it is. Clever, skilful player. Should be given a chance in the top 2 squads I reckon.
Who has the most bant in the whole club?
Barks. I’ve never seen anyone get a crowd going as much as him.
